Experiments With Electricity and Magnetism

Through clear instructions and scientific illustrations, students can conduct easy yet engaging experiments to examine the principles of electricity and magnetism. Using easy-to-obtain household materials, readers will make a battery from electric cells, test objects to see if they are conductors or insulators, and build a simple electric motor. Readers are guided through applying the scientific method to gain a better understanding of the basic concepts demonstrated by each experiment. Safety tips educate students on the code of conduct expected when conducting experiments.
